THE ANARCHISTS.

The petitions Of the Anarchists con.
tinue. The boom Of morbid sentimen-
tally takes this form Just as the same feel
ing h%abitually exercises itself on criminals
distinguished for a%trocity TO whom short.
haired female cranks present bouquets
The difference Is that the disease OF
morbid sympathy for criminals in thi,
case takes a broad social and political
form that affects the lower strata Of the
foreign element that comes to Americ,
to infuse into our society tho poison
generated by monarchical tyranny in
foreign countries.
1t has been generally explained and
approved everywhere that there is nc
field here in which to plant agerm Of
revolution, whose only xcuse is an op.
preston that does not exist.
The condemnation of the Anarchist:
was on broad grounds, and it is well thai
the people understand that a conspiracy
is criminal which incites murder, though
the actual murder is not perpetrsted by
the conspirators.
This is the principle that Americ'
asserts against Anarchists, and the sooner
the Anarchists understand its active ca
pacity the fewer will be the Anarchist
to be hung hereafter.

Hon. +. Ellery Anderson, Of New York city,

that he lacks that heavy under jaw and

we be satisfied with the
good deeds of others? We all
have missions of our own. We are bound
to assist one another. A case came
under my observation few years ago,
being that of very poor family consist
ing of father and mother and eleven
children. They lived in a tenement
house in New York city in poverty,
Indebtedness and misery and were al
most at the threshold of vice. A Little.
Sister of the Poor learning of the condi-
ton of the family went about the streets
and collected S400 which she gave to these
poor people, sending them out West.
Here they settled on farm and worked
and perseyered, so that to-day they are
living in comparative affiuence. You
cannot work miracles as your Savior
did. but what would it profit you to eX-
ercise this power? You can work
miracles of grace and mercy. You have
every means of exercising charity and
beneficence to your fellow man. This
applies to all: care not your national
lty or color, for did not God makes us all
brothers and sisters. Never did you
approach nearer to the Divinity than
when you assisted your fellow being,
when you lightened the burden of one
in distress, when you caused flowers of
happiness to bloom in the heart that
was desolate. Therefore, be man of
charity toward your fellOw-being and
God will bless you. Religion, says the
apostle. pure and undefiled, is to visit
the orphans in their tribulstionS and to
keep one sect unspotted from this
world"
